The key changes include improvements to hit registration consistency, the addition of a toggle to disable cross-play for Xbox Series X/S players, and fixing a rare bug where a player would be invisible to other players (which was quite handy if you wanted to earn the melee achievement). The update also removes rooftop objectives from Breakthrough in the Kaleidoscope, Orbital, and Hourglass maps, where there were limited entry points, making it near impossible for attackers to… break through....

Trek to Yomi is made by Shadow Warrior studio Flying Wild Hog and published by Devolver - two of the reasons it stood out last summer in an E3 showcase. It’s a 2.5D platform-combat game that follows the tired trope of lone-wolf samurai trying to save his and other villages from bad, invading samurai (or pretenders to the samurai tradition, he’d probably say). This begins with you as a boy, training with your sensei, when suddenly your village is attacked and your sensei called to defend - and you disobey his orders to stay where you are and rush to his aid....

This includes the Jakobs pistol Lucky 7 is the closest to a slot machine a gun can get, while ION CANNON is very deserving of its capital letters.

I played If On A Winter’s Night, Four Travellers back in March and loved it. It’s only a few hours long, featuring some mostly gentle point-and-click puzzling and a nicely gripping mystery. There are lots of literary references, lots of gothic horror, and lots - as you might have already noticed - of quite stunning pixel art, too. It’s “a ghastly little gem,” apparently, with about 31,000 downloads on Itch....

Acknowledging players may be frustrated that there’s currently no way they can go back to enjoy and replay story missions, Crocker explained that pivoting to “nonlinear” gameplay makes replaying the campaign “incredibly challenging”, but level select is “being worked on”. “You cannot replay missions in campaign at this point of time,” Crocker told Stevivor. “It’s part of what is coming later. The main reason is because, being a more open game and a nonlinear game, it became incredibly challenging....

Beyond the apartment you are given at the start of the game, there are four additional apartments to find in four regions of the city, each increasing in cost. Though you ‘rent’ each one, these are purchased with a one-time fee, essentially making them yours - allowing you to access your stash and earn apartment buffs. As well as new apartment locations, for those happy with the apartment at the start of the game, you can makeover your apartment through the EZEstates website....

Ever since Cyberpunk 2077 came out in December players have wondered about V’s odd sleeping position. From the first-person perspective we see V flop down in such a way as to suggest half their body hangs off the bed - sideways. This has become something of a meme within the Cyberpunk community, with various sketches from players who imagined what V looks like when asleep going viral. Redditor jk47_99 used Cyberpunk 2077’s recently-released third-person view mod to see V’s full getting into and out of bed animation - and, yeah, it’s pretty annoying....

Deathloop is a curious game. Like many prior Arkane titles, it’s superficially a first-person action game, but success depends on exploiting unique character abilities, stealth, and environmental hazards. It offers open-ended gameplay but not in an open-world environment - it’s a tightly curated experience that still manages to excite and surprise. Making progress hinges on exploiting the game’s central conceit - a time loop that makes the game restart at the end of each day....

PS5 store listings popped up overnight for Deathloop’s Standard and Deluxe editions, offering the ability to pre-order the game for a new 21st May 2021 release date (thanks, Gematsu). The listings have gone live, of course, alongside the arrival of the PS5 in various regions around the world - just not here in the UK. Deathloop is the next game from Prey and Dishonored developer Arkane Studios, and is launching as a timed console exclusive on PS5 even though its parent company Zenimax Studios is being bought by Microsoft....

Speaking of CPUs, the Weekly is a great showcase for the team to discuss some personal projects that may not have been planned as scheduled content - and sometimes the results are so fascinating, it opens the door to further research.

Dying Light 2 is set 20 years after the events of the first game, in a world devastated by a mutated version of the original virus. With over 98% of the population now lost, the remnants of humanity have congregated in the sprawling metropolis of Villedor, also known as The City, and it’s here that new protagonist Aiden Caldwell finds himself while searching for his family. To date, Techland has really only painted the ensuing adventure in broad strokes, talking up key points such as Dying Light 2’s 2-4 player co-op, its returning day and night cycle, and its focus on choice and consequence....
